Summary

This trial will study the effects of fresh watermelon fruit consumption on satiety, metabolism, and weight management.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with a BMI between 25 and 40, who are not pregnant, do not smoke, don't need dietary supplements or medication for metabolic disorders, and have no allergies to watermelon or gluten.
What is being tested?
The study is looking at how eating fresh watermelon affects feelings of fullness (satiety), body weight management, and heart health compared to consuming low-fat cookies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve common foods—watermelon and low-fat cookies—the side effects are minimal but may include food-related reactions in case of unknown intolerances.
